American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require recovery services for substance abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more prone to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely accepted a diversion option to receive rehab instead of jail time. So as you can see, there is an absolute need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the various needs of this client demographic, including addiction treatment programs in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Fort Wainwright face is access to effective treatment facilities, especially those who live in rural locations. Facilities providing drug and alcohol treatment services in rural areas may not be set up to provide support designed to meet the needs and demands of this unique group of people including substance abuse treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can work with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which services are an option for them and through which treatment facilities, and which ones will work best for their particular situation. There have been numerous grants approved in recent years to cover these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established treatment programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
